It's probably the "Cover the Crescent" night that they do. I got an email that said the Talking Heads were playing Crescent a few months ago and that is what it was. Local bands pick a band to cover and do a set of their songs.

It makes me miss the good old days when raphop was more about fuck the police, light skinededness, and the other coast of the united states. Now there's just no passion left. Everyone just wants to party and fuck strippers. Cool.

She was pretty incredible when I saw her last, too. I'm looking forward to it. PS: if I weren't so impecunious I'd come visit for Dax Riggs on Nov. 10th, which will be worth your time. Go see.

Hmm, I had no clue he was in town soon. Thanks. That's the same night as Thee Oh Sees.

Maybe I can work it out so I can see one of them perform songs then go to the other venue to catch the other one who will also be performing songs. I wish there was a convenient term for that activity.

(and you know you're welcome here any time)

Live From Los Santos: The Music of Grand Theft Auto V is an exclusive concert event in which the audience will be invited to step inside the world of GTAV with a live musical performance by the artists who contributed to the game's score. The event will feature images of Blaine County, the fictional setting of GTAV, rolling by on massive screens.

"These NYFF Convergence events aim to examine GTAV from multiple angles, giving our audience multiple ways to explore what has already become one of the most compelling works in the genre," said programmer Matt Bolish. "The heart and soul of NYFF Convergence is storytelling and Rockstar Games has proven with GTAV that they are simply the best when it comes to creating narrative, cinematic experiences in games."

Grand Theft Auto V comprises an entire universe filled not only with action, but with sound, thanks to the dynamic score from composers Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson, and The Alchemist & Oh No. For one night only, this talented group of artists, along with more than 20 supporting musicians will come together to perform the game's score, live to a very limited audience at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear this incredible collaboration perform the score, combined with art and game visuals to offer a completely unique and immersive live experience.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Tricky will have to cancel some of the dates on his US tour due to further visa problems.

The tour will now start in San Francisco at the Treasure Island Festival and conclude with a re-arranged date in New York on October 26.

Tricky has some juvenile offences for joyriding and forgery of the crown and the US authorities require full disclosure before granting any visas. The new hold-up has been in getting this information from the UK police authorities.

Tricky said “The most upsetting thing about this, whatever happens, it seems like it’s me letting people down. Other people have always dealt with visas for me and it turns out that they’ve not advised me properly. Now I have been advised that this was going to be straightforward and easily done in time for this tour and now this has happened.”

Visas are expected to be granted in time for the shows in San Francisco, New York, Asheville and LA and Tricky will return to the US to tour fully in 2014.

I think part of it is that it shouldn't be a touring festival. Lolla couldn't hack a touring festival several years ago, and unless it's something low cost and aimed at teenagers, like Warped, it seems like a losing game. Rock The Bells should just stick to doing the show in Devore. Also, the venues that were hosting the East Coast shows don't seem like they would be very cheap to lease.

Re: Upcoming Shows

Anyone know set times for or going to the Arctic Monkeys show in Oakland tonight?
